I used to think 1% is small, but 1% occurrence in the general population means you're nearly guaranteed to see someone with the condition at least once in your lifetime unless you live in a very cloistered group. 6.2% is a huge number... I remember some expert, I think on the Serial podcast, season one, saying how rare it is that you'll talk to a sociopath, and maybe for the context that's true, but in general I think it's not true if that statistic is.

(the 0-6.2% range from the DSM is bonkers though: 'somewhere between a hefty chunk of the population and non-existent 🤪')

the author of the article has a pretty clear conflict of interest though, so take it all with a grain of salt
